[QUOTE="Mason, post: 1815776, member: 176184"] Further and Final Update. Everything was working fine in both OS X Mojave and Windows 10, however, there wasn't as much free space as I'd like. Time to do some housekeeping and remove applications I no longer use and have a cull of old files, documents and photos etc. Having started I realised that there was indeed a lot of stuff that could go. It then occurred that there was nothing on the Mac of any importance that wasn't backed up in at least two places. I have a Time Capsule and two Synology NAS drives. Time for a fresh install of OS X, it would mean reinstalling Windows but now that I knew what to do that would be both quick and easy. I erased the OS X partition and booted into Internet recovery and did a fresh install, all without errors. Before doing any setting up of the OS X I decided to install Windows that way if it went sideways I'd not wasted any time. I started Bootcamp pointed it at the Windows 10 ISO and set it going fully expecting it to fail like it did before. It didn't, it installed Windows without any fuss or errors at all. I can only conclude that although my version of Mojave was the latest it was somehow different to a clean install. My iMac is a 2015 model so the OS has been upgraded several times from older versions of the OS. It might be worth noting that if every so often a clean install may well just fix some of those irritating problems. [/QUOTE]
